Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 18, 1992

Transcript:

Mom: Hmm, you don't have a fever. That's good. Calvin: My throat's still kind of scratchy. I think I should stay home from school tomorrow. Mom: We'll see. You keep resting and I'll fix some soup to bring you. Calvin: OK. Hobbes: Not feeling so good?? Calvin: Yipe! I'm fine! I'm the picture of health! I feel great! And I know what you're thinking, you savage! By golly, if you try carrying me off to disptach, you'll be in for a big surprise! Get away from me! Mom: Here's your soup. Goodness, you're all sweaty! Le me take your temperature again. Calvin: I'll bet other people's best friends don't wait for them to get sick and weak.
